Americans less safe. Now on bbc news click. This week, portable ultrasound scanners, this week, portable ultrasound scanners, brain music, and robot dogs that clean up after themselves. Theme music. 0ver over the years on click we have seen devices get smaller and smaller. Yet, with more storage and more processing capabilities. This miniaturisation of devices has touched everything from our computers to phones and even revolutionising areas of medicine. 0ne revolutionising areas of medicine. One area of medicine which has a lot of demand and could potentially benefit from miniature as a sin is medical imaging. In the uk, over 41 million scans take place every year in the nhs using x rays, mri and ultrasound. In an emergency, at the bedside or even at an ambulance, it can become placated to get a patient to one of these large machines. Does my complicated. But now portable medical devices made in the uk could change 0liver, giving doctors and patients instant access to ultrasound at a reduced cost. The intensive care unit of southampton Childrens Hospital admits hundreds of patients its year. With a range of patients its year. With a range of medical conditions, from Heart Disease to trauma and neurological emergencies. Effie was admitted with a lung infection and needs constant monitoring with tests, x rays and ultrasounds. Usually these are performed by expert radiologists and they arent always immediately available. This ward has four point of care ultrasound available. This ward has four point of ca re ultrasound machines. These two cost over £50,000 each. But now the same test can be carried out using a smart phone up and probe, which fit into a doctors pocket and cost a fraction of the price. She had heart surgery yesterday for a condition which is a problem in the heart where there are four different issues. One of the complications of that is sometimes fluid around the lungs. So it southampton we have a routine scan of childrens tests to make sure all the fluid is gone. This ultrasound system is called the butterfly, and consists of a hand held probe which its arches to and i were a smart phone or tablet. This is now filming the long and the diaphragm. That long looks completely normal. There is no fluid around the lung, there is no fluid around the lung, there is no fluid in the lung, the lung is moving well. It costs £1699. A fraction of the cost of the larger machines. And its less invasive at a childs bedside. Its usually designed without all this in mind, what with ashley got here is a whole variety of paediatric settings as well. So i can select paediatric long, paediatric heart, paediatric afternoon, but i could also flip and standard adult long, it nowjump between one probe with the president button rather than changing the probes over and over to get the right probe. Lets put on the jelly. Well done. He is so electric crystals are used, crystals are cut into different shapes and sizes as different frequencies are used to image different parts of the body. But this also means different probes are needed. The butterfly uses ultrasound on a computer chip and needs only one probe for different body parts. We are wells first ultrasound on chip, a single probe whole body imaging system, instead of the typical 124 imaging elements that are in a ptc probe, there are almost 9000 elements in this. So we can recreate all the different types of probes with just one. That becomes really important as you scan different parts of the body in an emergency, you dont have to keep shifting probes. Just a simple change within the application itself you can go from heart and lungs very quickly and make rapid decisions on what is ashley wrong with the patient. The information from the app can be anonymous smoothly sent to a secure server for doctors to review quickly anonymously sent. The implications are clear. An estimated 5 billion people around the world dont have access to medical imaging of any kind. In sub saharan africa, the devices being used to check for pneumonia, the leading infectious cause of death in children under five. In fact, the companys chief medical officer made his own alarming discovery when scanning himself during the devices testing. We were doing these studies are fda clea ra nce, we were doing these studies are fda clearance, i noticed some softness in my now, i put the probe in my note and i shockingly saw a very large mass which ultimately turned out to be a cancer. I am living proof that having an immediate access to an image contains your health and your life southampton has bought four of the devices and plans you always have one available in its childrens ambulance stop when you are in front of a child thatis when you are in front of a child that is critically im well and you desperately need information, you are relying on a third person and you are watching a child deteriorate and you feel powerless. Actually, this gives you the power. This gives you the information to look inside to keep as s chest. It gives information to look at the heart. You can decide yourself within seconds. And suddenly, looking after Sick Children is a bit less scary. For now, the butterfly is only available to medical professionals. But tests are currently under way with a group of cardiac patients scanning themselves at home. The Artificial Intelligence built into the device will help guide the presence of the right area to scan, and perhaps with regulatoree approval, at home ultrasounds could bea approval, at home ultrasounds could be a reality. Tate modern in london opens a major show of the work of the korean visionary Nam June Paik which brings over together 200 of his pieces. His one who made a career of being ahead of his time. He was the ultimate early adopter. He was the ultimate early adopter. He came up with the idea of wearable tack, he codeveloped the first video synthesiser in 1970. He coined the term electronic superhighway in 1976. And, he vjed a video cast in 1974. Lets take a look later at this strange experience. Although paik was korean, a lot of his work is influenced by japanese paik was korean, a lot of his work is influenced byjapanese culture and he spent a lot of time injapan. No one loves a robot more than the japanese, and i right . Injapan is where we are heading now for its annual extravaganza. Annual tax extravaganza. Technology. Some things that japans annual extravaganza. Technology. Some things thatjapans annual paik shindig can leave people speeches, but unfortunately, not for emily. Now, over to the kitchen, is your robot dog trying to tell you something . Sonys aibo is now faithful to hitachis appliances. If you leave the fridge door open or the washing machine on cycle, he will come over and bark because an alarm wouldnt sound is cute. He even rides the robot cleaner, just like real dogs. And with these transparent tv screens from mike sharp, shop windows may never be the same again. From sharp. This is something im presently quite interested in and excited about. I think its something many of us had been waiting for four years. How do we know whether weve got a cold or weve got a virus or maybe it is a bacterial infection . 0ften our doctors take best guesses but they dont really know. Part of the reason for that is any sample they take, if they do, takes a few hours oi take, if they do, takes a few hours or maybe even a couple of days to tell us what weve got. Murata at 0saka tell us what weve got. Murata at 0sa Ka University have tell us what weve got. Murata at osaKa University have created a portable device that gathers bacteria, making it quicker and easier to analyse. A laser is pointed underneath the sample that is on pointed underneath the sample that isona pointed underneath the sample that is on a substrate, basically a plate thatis is on a substrate, basically a plate that is based on this device, and we can see here what the microscope is seeing. Now, look closely and you will see the movement of the water that surrounds the sample. The sample can be food if we want to detect something that could cause food poisoning, or something detect something that could cause food poisoning, orsomething in blood or in urine or spittle or any sort of substance that we might analyse from the human body. The movement of water is causing a concentration of the bacteria, or indeed the virus, down towards the bottom towards that plate. So theres no need to grow anything. Theres no need to look too closely because everything is concentrated ina because everything is concentrated in a small because everything is concentrated ina smallarea. Because everything is concentrated in a small area. This is about the size of a mobile phone. The idea is that could be deployed into field clinics, into ourgp that could be deployed into field clinics, into our gp surgeries, and the results of that, they are saying, would come back within minutes not ours, not days, but within a few minutes. Its still early stages, so dont expect anything for two years or so. It is easy to see the impact it could make. Sony devoted its entire stand to self help take this year. Including this cell analyser that tracks biomarkers which can help detect cancer and uses lasers that may be familiar to you devoted to health tech. This is similar to a blu ray player. It uses scattered light to detect what is going on in the cells. Damn, what on earth is going on over here . Just trying a little bit of surgery. Surgery . Are you a brain surgeon now . With these sd you a brain surgeon now . With these 3d glasses and a 3d screen there, this is one of the best resolutions for any surgery. This is actually used, this camera here is actually used, this camera here is actually used in surgeries. And the check is not to look down at what you are doing inside his brain, for example, it is to keep looking up at the screen and still youve got the peas that you want. Very good and then, look at how small that is that is absolutely tiny. Look at this. That is so small. Im no brain surgeon, emily, i can tell you. Im busted. This is childs play. And finally, dan found a visible way to conversed with the locals here they didnt involve flapping his arms around. Konichiwa, hajimemashite. I have no idea what that means, but with a swipe of the finger, here is the english. Hello, nice to meet you. It was the week that a robot develop a rubiks cube single handedly. It took about four minutes to complete the challenge. The uk government. The plans to use strict vilification takes to stop under 18 is using porn online. And nasa unveiled the newest lie of spacesuits. An engineer so doctor lets ability of the prototype suit by twisting and bending at the waist, unlike suits at the in the past. It was also the week that fortnite disappeared and came back for a new season. A meteor shower took place over the week with a black hole being the only thing on screen. At the game finally became able to play again 48 hours later as the next season laws. Facebooks proposed cryptocurrency project libra has seen 17 of the 28 original Member Companies pull out was not looking. Com was the latest to leave on monday. A spokesperson from the social Media Companies as they are still planning to launch next year if approvalfrom still planning to launch next year if approval from finance regular letters worldwide is granted. And finally, there is now a robotic solution to help you move a box from one place to another. Agility robotic subs are not the newest version of digital is that using cameras and radar it can identify a package by reading barcodes on it, avoid obstacles as it works, and place it at its final destination. Google held an event in new york where it gave more details about its latest pixel phone as well as a few other things full up the pixel four and fourxl other things full up the pixel four and four xl have been announced, shipping on the 24th of october, the latest and most powerful generation of phones feature astrophotography camera mode, to take pictures of the night sky. They say it works by automatically creating a mix of 15 Long Exposure shots. The whole process ca n Long Exposure shots. The whole process can take about four minutes to complete. Google also announced a new smart speaker, the nest mini, which includes an extra trip. The companies as it allows it to process more commands within the device rather than on remote computer servers. rather than on remote computer servers. Chip. The latest version of pixel bud earphones were revealed, which google says will connect to the new phones from a distance of up to a football field away. And their videogame service stadia also got a shout out with a release date of 19 november. 0k, back to tate moderns retrospective on the work of korean born Nam June Paik. 0ne on the work of korean born Nam June Paik. One of the first artist to use electronic terminology in his art. Namjune paik was an artist who worked with mainstream entertainment figures, like david bowie, and he was very interested in showing no boundaries between high art and mass culture. So in a way he has shown a lot of things like mtb before it was available, and also u tube and other things mtv. He also understood that personal communications were important in bringing people together beyond any national or cultural boundaries. Electronics superhighway is one of the terms he coined as early as 1974, and he thought that connecting different cultures and different people in Different Countries could actually help people understand and avoid conflict. Although Nam June Paik is well known as being a pioneer of video art, he is also a pioneer of interactive art. This from the 1960s is three camera participation, whether there viewer of the work necessarily becomes part of it. Way backin necessarily becomes part of it. Way back in 1963, nam june necessarily becomes part of it. Way back in 1963, namjune paik made a work called random access, which showed that a linear medium like audio recordings could be non linear. It consisted of strips of audiotape and a portable cassette layer with an extended magnetic tape had that could be dragged over the strips in any direction. He employed tvs as an artistic medium for the first time. Tvs were very expensive electronic machines than, and only a few families could actually afford tvs in their household. Paik was certainly way ahead of his time, so i wonder what he would have made of what emily and dan have found in japan . What could possibly go wrong . This isa what could possibly go wrong . This is a single seater, sort of, flying ship. You have got to want to make this happen, people this is brilliant that was amazing the tea m ta kes brilliant that was amazing the team takes part in a global competition, for real, in the us in february. In summer we saw nec lift off its flying taxi. Part of the excitement of that initial launch, it feels like things are slowing down here. And that is because things like the infrastructure to actually get these off the ground in cities is simply not in place at the moment. Any is eight hour working with the japanese government to hopefully get an crude version of these off the ground and entities by 2023, which would be pretty impressive. In cities. Last week we spoke about electric cars and he was an idea to recycle the batteries. 0ne nissen leaf can enough s dornauf solar energy to power 12 of these streetlights. 200 a plan for next year. You can also charge your phone from them which is useful in disaster situations, like the one japan had last weekend with the one japan had last weekend with the typhoon. Now take a look at these, underneath my feet. They are solar panels, and they are charging that electric car. It seems like a bit of a no brainer, these can hold up bit of a no brainer, these can hold up to 20 tons, very useful, and i think the company producing them believe that by 2022, we could have roads made of these, so you can be charging up while you are driving. Murata showed off a clever holographic style image that you can actually feel. 0h laughs . That is really weird. I wouldnt normally jellyfish. Dozens of piezo electric actuators and auto blowers direct airto actuators and auto blowers direct air to where the image is meant to be. Over at Mitsubishi Electric you had holographic signing tojump through, but how about this, a projection that replaces the vending machine or atm . It is more hygienic and all they need to do now is make the money appear out of thin air. Meanwhile, i am writing a dustbin lead. Itjust meanwhile, i am writing a dustbin lead. It just doesnt meanwhile, i am writing a dustbin lead. Itjust doesnt like Going Forward lead. Itjust doesnt like Going Forward tdks six axis since a gaming disc could be the future, but iam not gaming disc could be the future, but i am not so sure. I am really not very good at this. Emily and dan in japan. Now when we are feeling joyous, sad, angry, we try and find music to fit the mood. Not sure that is it right now if i am honest, but what if you could guarantee to find the right song for the moment . Well thatis the right song for the moment . Well that is what lj reg has been looking at. Here is a personalised station of party songs. Voice actualisation technology is good enough to capture imagination, and with smart speakers letting us here virtually any song on command, it has made music more consumable than ever before. Today, sonos are showing off their products with some Unexpected Technology art installations, totally up my street. My installations, totally up my street. My favourite part of this exhibition is the chance to see what my brain does when listening to music. Now normal brains are met lots of electrical activity, reduced down to the basics, you could say, they have five main states. For example, normal alertness would likely generate beta waves. And being relaxed or in a light meditation, alpha waves. Willing participants where an eeg for real real time scans, sensors pick up the dominant waveform and use that data to inform the visuals. Now as we all experience music differently, the visuals change across each person based on how each mind processes the stimulus. So with the help of this rain had sat, i can find out what my feelings look like. It feels like staring at our brainwaves could help us staring at our brainwaves could help us understand our moods, so i am not surprised to get a menu by gabe, one of the people here. It is incredibly fulfilling, watching notjust my brain but others as well. It is quite hypnotic, actually. What would you recommend as a desert . laughs . As the intensity is increased, of the wave goes stronger, that flow pattern will change and it also controls other aspects of that swarm of colour particles, the scale of the particles will change and also they will bloom
